I’m a delver into archives, drinker of too much tea, and a lover of antiques and old buildings. Whilst you are reading this, I’m probably tapping away on my keyboard surrounded by my books and research. Our sturdy, stone-built house used to be the village primary school, and from my window I have a view of a few 17th century cottages, and behind those, green fields dotted with grazing sheep. This peaceful picture is often the opposite of what is unfolding on the page in front of me because storytelling thrives on conflict. And characters. And of course you, the reader.

Historical fiction was a natural choice for me as a writer because I always enjoyed the research aspect of design – poking about in archives and museums, not to mention the attraction of boned bodices and the excuse to visit old and interesting buildings!

I live close to the glorious countryside of the Lake District and divide my time between teaching and writing. When I’m not at work I  love to walk and explore the landscape around my home – the lakes, the mountains and the sea.

  2. I highly recommend Deborah's books. I read The Poison Keeper a few years back, but it is one of those books that you don't forget, the plot is still as fresh in my mind as the days I read it.
